Paraphrase

The document, written on the 14th of Simān (III) in the 1st regnal year of Darius, records that A gave (nadānu, wr. sum.na) 3 offering-measures (mašīhu ša sattukki) 0;0.1.1 kor (liter) of sesame (šamaššammū) to (ana) B, a performer of prebendary duties (ēpišānu). The sesame will be used to (ina)* prepare the regular offerings for the last 15 days of the current month (Simān).

(*) Alternative interpretations are possible due to the ambigious meaning of ina (issued from/intended for).

A = Marduk-šumu-ibni(/Mušēzib-Marduk//Šangû-Ištar-Bābili), a known oil presser’s prebendary and baker of sweet cakes, Bongenaar 1997, 275f.); B = Gimillu, a performer of prebendary duties owned by A (ēpišānu, Bongenaar 1997, 273)
